I emailed seachem to see if their products are safe for snails, if not I have 2 tanks that are not dosed with the flourish products.

Is any amount of copper safe for snails at all? I noticed that some of the flourish products have added copper, but it’s like .0007 % or something like that.

Lenny and Steve- By Co3 I meant NO3, my apologies - as well as No2 not Co2. I was half asleep when I did that post. So so sorry.
I use API’s Freshwater Testing Kit which in my experience gives better results than, say, taking them to a pet store to test, and most pet […]
So will my pH only raise to a certain point or should I be watching it carefully?

Okay I have the tank filled with everything (soil/gravel/crushed coral/and water), and I have the filter running to get any debris out of the water, I netted as much as I could though. How fast will worm castings break down and put out nitrogen? Does anyone know?

It has worm castings in the soil, they are slow release nitrogen, not sure if that has something to do with it? I will get the tank set up today and start the tests this week to see how the water is.

Ike Lenny, I am not sure what you mean by CO3 levels unless you are talking about CaCO3, calcium carbonate, in which case your readings are not a problem.
Your dwarf water lily is a dwarf. If you had a “normal” sized water lily, your 20 gallon tank would not be large enough for one leaf, […]
The black gold bag says .05% nitrogen, that’s it, nothing else added. It does have perlite in it, but I can scoop it out when it floats up to the surface. I went to the forum to look over instructions again, some people don’t wait it just depends on what fertilizers […]
If your tank isn’t cycled properly, that is, if the nitrogen cycle isn’t fully established, then you are better off leaving just the two fish for now until you go through the entire “Cycling With Fish” process. If you haven’t read it yet, I have a link to a thorough “Cycling With Fish” article […]
Would thin cotton socks work to put the crushed coral in? They are brand new just pulled out of the bag… I didn’t like the style and never wore them. I can use a zip tie to tie them shut.
